Italy issues extreme heat alerts for major cities
Italy has placed nearly all of its major cities on the highest "red" heat alert due to a severe heatwave caused by a subtropical anticyclone from North Africa. By Monday, 25 of Italy’s 27 largest cities are expected to be on red alert, with only Reggio Calabria and Messina on a lower "amber" alert. Authorities advise residents to stay indoors, stay hydrated, and avoid direct sunlight during peak hours. The extreme heat is contributing to widespread wildfires across Europe, with countries like France, Greece, Spain, and Portugal battling large-scale fires exacerbated by rising temperatures linked to climate change.
